That is because first of all, Austrian monetary analysis not only doesn't have to, but as far as I know haven't ever, said that increases in the monetary base directly create price inflation. It is only indirectly, to the extent it increases money supply, that it will have any effect.

Alright, maybe I'm somehow misreading this, but did they just say that increasing the money supply doesn't create price inflation, and then says it does?

Kinda, it just says that it doesnt directly cause it, price inflation can be an effect though.

Money grows on trees. You don't actually have to even make it into paper, just want it to be so.
